Chapter 255 — Calling for Backup
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At that thought, Zhong Yongliang felt a little better. Wei Zhao was a dead man walking sooner or later anyway — let him hop about for a couple more days. Let him have his few days of glory before he dies! So when Zhong Yongliang looked at Wei Zhao now, there was a touch of pity in his gaze. In his eyes, Wei Zhao was already a dead man.
"Mengyao, are you free on Saturday? My dad gave me three movie tickets — let's go see it together?" This morning, Zhong Yongliang had been urged by his father to hurry up and win Gu Mengyao over. Otherwise, who knew what new scheme his uncle Jin Gubang would cook up — and if they no longer needed his cooperation, the Zhong family would get nothing out of it.
So Zhong Yongliang began courting Gu Mengyao with great eagerness.
"I told you not to call me Mengyao — are you deaf?" Gu Mengyao found Zhong Yongliang's familiarity downright disgusting.
Zhong Yongliang, utterly oblivious, dragged a stool over and sat down in the aisle, lining it up beside Gu Mengyao's chair. "Heh heh, then how about I call you Yaoyao?" "Why don't you just go die?" Gu Mengyao frowned. "Do you have something to say or not?"
"I do! Saturday, let's go see a movie together — it's the IMAX version of Fallen Emperor, an international blockbuster, you know..." Zhong Yongliang fished out three movie tickets and said to Gu Mengyao.
"No time. I have other plans on Saturday." Gu Mengyao turned him down flat. She had already arranged to go bungee jumping with Xiaoshu, so naturally she wasn't going to any movie — even if she weren't going bungee jumping, she wouldn't go to a movie with Zhong Yongliang. This creature was even more annoying than Wei Zhao!
Eh? At the thought, Gu Mengyao could not help but pause. Was it not the case that she used to find Wei Zhao even more detestable than Zhong Yongliang? Could her ranking of them have changed so quickly? Gu Mengyao shook her head, unable to make sense of it.
"Then we can go on Sunday..." Zhong Yongliang pressed on shamelessly, utterly untiring.
Worn down beyond endurance, Gu Mengyao jabbed Shen Yushu in the side with her finger, signaling her to fetch Wei Zhao and be rid of the nuisance.
Shen Yushu giggled, caught on at once, and fired off a message to Wei Zhao: "Sister Yaoyao's in trouble — requesting immediate backup."
Wei Zhao read Shen Yushu's message and was caught between laughter and tears, but he rose to his feet all the same. After all, he had promised Gu Mengyao yesterday that whenever Zhong Yongliang harassed her, he would step in promptly.
"Boss, where are you off to?" Seeing Wei Zhao abruptly stand up, Kang Xiaofeng was rather puzzled.
"To the restroom. Coming or not?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Coming — wait for me!" Kang Xiaofeng stood up after Wei Zhao, but when he saw that Zhong Yongliang had the aisle ahead completely blocked, a small smile of delight crept onto his face. Zhong Yongliang was in for it again!
Wei Zhao strode quickly toward Zhong Yongliang, and Shen Yushu immediately broke into a sly grin. That fool Zhong Yongliang still had no idea — he was rattling on and on, harassing Sister Yaoyao, unaware that he was about to become a flying man...
